StarReaching Studies Ltd will use reasonable skill and care in arranging and delivering tutoring services.
We will make reasonable efforts to: provide suitably qualified tutors appropriate for the agreed subject and academic level; ensure tutors conduct lessons professionally, respectfully, and in accordance with our standards; communicate with Clients regarding lesson scheduling, cancellations, and other relevant matters in a timely manner; respond promptly to concerns raised by Clients; and make reasonable efforts to provide continuity of tuition with the same tutor where practicable.
We reserve the right to substitute a tutor where necessary due to illness, availability, safeguarding concerns, operational requirements, or any other reasonable circumstance.
7.2 Student Responsibilities
Students agree to: attend lessons punctually and be prepared for each session; actively participate in lessons; complete any agreed independent study or homework where appropriate; treat tutors with courtesy and respect; notify us as soon as reasonably possible if they are unable to attend a scheduled lesson; and provide accurate information regarding their educational needs and objectives.
Students are responsible for arriving on time. Lessons will normally finish at the scheduled end time regardless of late arrival by the student.
7.3 Online Lessons
For online tutoring, Clients and students are responsible for ensuring that they have: a suitable computer, tablet or other compatible device; a reliable internet connection; any software required for the lesson; and a quiet environment suitable for learning.
We are not responsible for interruptions caused by technical issues arising from the student’s equipment, internet connection, software, or learning environment.
Where technical issues occur on our side or the tutor’s side that materially affect the lesson, we will make reasonable efforts to reschedule or repeat the affected portion of the lesson.
7.4 Parent or Guardian Responsibilities
Where the student is under the age of 18, the Parent or legal guardian agrees to: review and accept these Terms and Conditions; ensure that the student complies with these Terms; provide accurate and up-to-date contact information; ensure payment is made in accordance with these Terms; and provide appropriate supervision where reasonably necessary.
7.5 Appropriate Conduct
All parties are expected to behave respectfully and professionally.
Abusive, threatening, discriminatory, harassing or unlawful behaviour towards our tutors, staff or other students will not be tolerated.
Where such behaviour occurs, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate tutoring services immediately without refund for any unused portion of a lesson already in progress.
Clients should notify us promptly if they believe that a tutor has acted unprofessionally or inappropriately so that the matter may be investigated.
7.6 Lesson Materials and Recordings
Unless otherwise agreed in writing: lesson materials supplied by StarReaching Studies Ltd or our tutors remain the intellectual property of their respective owners; such materials may only be used for the student’s own educational purposes; and lessons may not be recorded, reproduced, distributed or shared without the prior written consent of all participants.
8. No Guarantee of Academic Results
StarReaching Studies Ltd is committed to providing high-quality tutoring services designed to support each student’s learning and academic development.
However, we do not guarantee that any student will achieve any particular: examination grade; coursework mark; predicted grade; university or college admission; scholarship; qualification; or other educational outcome.
Academic performance depends upon numerous factors outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to: the student’s attendance; effort and engagement; independent study; prior knowledge and ability; health and wellbeing; examination conditions; changes to examination specifications; and the decisions of examination boards, schools, colleges, universities or other educational institutions.
Any guidance, predictions or opinions provided by tutors regarding examination performance or future educational opportunities represent professional judgement only and must not be interpreted as guarantees.
9. Tutor Non-Solicitation
StarReaching Studies Ltd invests significant time and resources in recruiting, vetting, training and matching tutors with Clients. To protect these legitimate business interests, the following provisions apply.
9.1 Non-Solicitation
During the provision of our tutoring services and for a period of 12 months following the date of the last lesson arranged through StarReaching Studies Ltd, the Client agrees not to: engage, employ, contract with, or otherwise retain any tutor introduced by StarReaching Studies Ltd for private tuition or any educational services outside of our agency; encourage or assist another person to engage such a tutor outside of our agency; or knowingly facilitate any arrangement intended to circumvent StarReaching Studies Ltd.
9.2 Requests to Continue Tuition
If a Client wishes to continue receiving tuition from a tutor introduced by StarReaching Studies Ltd outside the scope of these Terms, the Client must first obtain our written consent.
Where appropriate, we may, at our sole discretion, agree to release the tutor from this restriction, which may be subject to the payment of an introduction or release fee.
9.3 Tutor Responsibility
Tutors engaged by or contracted through StarReaching Studies Ltd are also subject to contractual obligations that restrict them from accepting private engagements with Clients introduced by the Company except with our prior written consent.
9.4 Remedies
The Client acknowledges that a breach of this Section may cause financial loss to StarReaching Studies Ltd that would be difficult to quantify precisely.
Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies available at law, StarReaching Studies Ltd reserves the right to recover any demonstrable losses arising from such breach and to seek appropriate injunctive or equitable relief where available.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from exercising any rights available under applicable law.
10. Payments, Lesson Bookings and Refund Policy
10.1 Lesson Fees
Lesson fees shall be charged at the rates agreed between StarReaching Studies Ltd and the Client at the time of booking.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing: all lessons must be paid for in advance; invoices are payable upon receipt or by the payment date specified on the invoice; and we reserve the right to postpone or suspend lessons where payment remains outstanding.
Any bank charges, currency conversion fees or payment processing fees charged by third parties shall be the responsibility of the Client unless otherwise agreed.
10.2 Lesson Packages
Where lesson packages are purchased: payment is due in full before the first lesson unless an alternative payment arrangement has been agreed in writing; lessons included within the package may only be used by the named student unless otherwise agreed; package discounts apply only where the full package is purchased; and any applicable expiry date will be communicated before purchase.
Unused lessons remaining after any stated expiry period may be forfeited unless otherwise agreed.
10.3 Scheduling Lessons
Lessons will be arranged at dates and times mutually agreed between the tutor and the Client.
While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate preferred lesson times, we cannot guarantee ongoing availability of any specific tutor or time slot.
10.4 Student Cancellation
Clients may cancel or reschedule lessons by giving notice. More than 24 hours before the scheduled lesson: the lesson may be rescheduled without charge. Less than 24 hours before the lesson: the lesson fee will normally be payable in full. Failure to attend a scheduled lesson without notice will be treated as a cancellation with less than 24 hours’ notice.
We may, at our sole discretion, waive cancellation charges where exceptional circumstances apply.
10.5 Tutor Cancellation
If a tutor is unable to deliver a scheduled lesson, we will make reasonable efforts to: arrange an alternative lesson time; provide a suitable replacement tutor where appropriate; or issue a lesson credit or refund if a replacement cannot reasonably be arranged.
10.6 Refund Policy and Tutor Changes
If you feel your current tutor is not the right fit for any reason at any point, simply email us and we will be happy to arrange a new tutor at no additional cost.
If you have taken your first lesson and decide that the tutor is not the right match, and you do not wish to explore alternative tutor options, you may request a refund for any remaining unused lessons.
Bookings may be refunded within 14 days of purchase, provided that no lessons have been used.
Refunds will generally only be provided where: we cancel lessons and cannot provide a suitable alternative; we are unable to provide the agreed tutoring services; you request a refund within the applicable cooling-off period and no lessons have been used; or a refund is required under applicable consumer law.
Completed lessons are non-refundable.
Where a lesson package has been partially used, any refund will normally be calculated based upon the value of the unused lessons, taking into account any package discount that would no longer apply.
Lessons may be used for up to two years from the date of purchase, after which any unused lessons will expire unless otherwise agreed.
Refunds will normally be issued using the same payment method used for the original purchase.
10.7 Statutory Right to Withdraw
Where applicable consumer law provides a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract, Clients may exercise that right within the applicable withdrawal period.
Where the Client expressly requests that tutoring services begin during the withdrawal period, the Client acknowledges that: they may lose the right to withdraw once the services have been fully performed; and if they withdraw after tutoring has commenced, they may be required to pay for the proportion of services already provided.
Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory consumer rights.
10.8 Exceptional Circumstances
We recognise that exceptional circumstances, including serious illness, bereavement or other unforeseen events, may occasionally prevent attendance at scheduled lessons.
Requests for refunds or rescheduling outside this policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis at our reasonable discretion.
